Our Story

Powering the future of Africa

Built on 23 years of history, Power & Electricity World Africa is about innovation, investment and infrastructure – energy for the people!

It is about the big ideas, market disruptions and keeping our finger on the pulse of trends that can meet our energy demands and change the daily lives of all Africans across the continent.

Our mission is to maintain this forum as the industry meeting place where professionals come to see the latest energy disruptions and tech, learn how to deliver bankable, sustainable, clean generation projects as well as the newest storage, battery and solar solutions that are transforming how we supply energy in Africa.

Our event is a multi-brand exhibition with thousands of attendees and a ground breaking conference. Every year, we welcome utilities, government, IPP’s, large end users, disruptors and innovators, all looking to procure from, and collaborate with the best in the world.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Africa (Pty) Ltd, ABB, GE, Barloworld Power, Siemens, MTU, Voith, IBM, Mott Macdonald, Solar World Africa, Yingli Solar, Vestas, SMA, Arup…
just to name a few, have all leveraged Power & Electricity World Africa as their once-a-year opportunity to meet and do business with new and existing customers.

Billions of dollars of business have either been initiated, influenced or concluded at this show.

Our conference is a C-level platform that focuses on global trends and practical innovative energy applications as well as how market players can capitalise on business opportunities across the continent.

Year on year, the event and conference provides our partners with access to over
650 African utility and IPP decision makers,
who traditionally are difficult to reach. And most importantly, the show allows them to meet real buyers.

Power & Electricity World Africa continues to be the meeting place for buyers, sellers and their partners to do the deals that drive Africa’s energy sector, so it is with good reason that over 40 African countries attend each year.

This is THE place where buyers and the energy community find solutions to their challenges. You should join us too!

Combining our history with our passion for innovation, we are committed to bringing you a unique and forward thinking event for you to promote your brand, generate new business and sales leads and spearhead the growth of your business.
